Earthquake in Andean region:

[A] This one’s easy. Grade would have been an A+ if Lunghu had specified a date & time.

Hot Dry Summer:

[A-] The summer isn’t quite over (half of August awaits us), but thus far June & July & two weeks of August were indeed just as hot & dry as predicted in Lunghu’s region of the Eastern United States (see tables below).

In fact, it has been even hotter and drier than Lunghu expected. Sorry about that. Lunghu’s not happy about the Russian wheat harvest, either. However, his brother has been rakin’ it in with KCBT & CME call options on hard & soft winter wheat, so somebody’s smiling.

Putin’s Reconquista:

[C+] Russian-style “democracy” has definitely been in evidence in the FSU thus far in YoT –in Kyrgyzstan, for example. Yes, armed rebellion counts as a democratic expression of the People’s Will: see Venezuela in 2002 or Honduras in 2009 for examples of American-style “democracy” in action. Lunghu’s grade is only a C+ because he appears to have gotten the big picture right but slacked off on the details by casually mentioning Estonia as a possible candidate for “Change You’d Better Believe In.” Lunghu didn’t put enough research effort into evaluating the overall operating environment in the FSU. Too bad that’s not his area of specialty. Expect further developments in the second semester.

Pinocchio’s puppeteers:

[Inc.] Lunghu gets an Incomplete grade in this course despite a promising start. Still, we’ve got another semester to go. Lunghu is expecting to make up ground on the final exam.
